A Month of Sundays

There is an interesting article about all the journalists in alternative paper in Seattle going to visit churches, and then writing about their experiences. I especially like the play on words in the title of the article (A Month of Sundays is a book by John Updike), and the description of worship at the Vineyard Church (#6). Lots of sarcasm about religion here, and a little foul language, but also some interesting thoughts.

If I get a chance I'll read that. It sounds like something I'd read especially since I've been attending a Vinyard for the last couple of years! I'm sure he has some "interesting" observations.
I check your blog regularly and I keep getting reminded to look for that book!

I haven't been here in quite a few months of Sunday's. And as always, I see you have some interesting reads to share.

I read the article and was disheartened and given hope although not proportionately.

I also read the book yesterday, it did about the same for me.
